A simple, proven process
It starts with one shift: away from thinking in terms of renting space to people, and towards inviting them to participate in a program you offer.
Our program is simple and easy to run: it's one that gives your current and new members an opportunity to set goals, share challenges, and build strong bonds.
When I was a couple years into running Manhattan's first coworking space, New Work City, I was starting to struggle. I was facing stiff competition from this young new local upstart called WeWork and a few well-funded others. I found myself walking into a room of people who seemed to just seemed to show up, put their headphones on, and go right home. I didn't get into this business to run an office full of strangers.
I realized that just offering workspace wasn't enough-and the appeal of community only worked if it was tied to something concrete and valuable.
So I invented Cotivation.
Cotivation let me make a critical switch from renting space to sharing an invitation. It created much-needed urgency: "join by this date to be part of the next cohort."
I attracted new and existing members. We set goals. We workshopped our way through challenges and celebrated our wins. We formed deep bonds.
Before I knew it, my coworking space was thriving. We never looked back.
As a member of New Work Cities, you'll learn how to craft your own programs just like this one. I'll even give you the literal playbook.
You'll be amazed how easeful it can feel.

Learn & get support
Along the way, you'll learn:
The proven business models for coworking that work
How to attract new members and keep them engaged
How to avoid burnout and run your business sustainably
How to host events without getting overwhelmed
And much more. You'll be drawing on the experience of both veteran and recent coworking space owners, led by someone who's been at this for as long as anyone.
--
Be a part of something bigger
And we're taking things a step further: we're coordinating our efforts.
Amidst the real health crisis known as the loneliness epidemic, spaces like yours are playing a critical role in offering people a place to connect.
Members of our group will have the opportunity to participate in coordinated programming and shared messaging, all designed to show prospective members, sponsors, and partners just how important our work is and why they should get involved.

Thanks, I just bought this! Curious why the meeting room fields are set at $0 though...? I need to add this to my projections and would love for it to be automatically updated and projected like the others.
Hi there, thanks for your purchase! I kept the meeting room rentals to $0 by default since many spaces don't use this as a revenue source, but you can easily fill out the fields B45-M45 with your hourly rate and B46-M46 with your projected number of hours rented. The rest should flow through automatically!
@@TonyBacigalupo Thanks for the quick reply! Any insight as to what can be expected in terms of capacity? For example, if 160 hours/month is the max, should I use that # for month 12 and work down from there? (Also, I'm surprised to hear that! I don't think I've ever been to a space that didn't have meeting room costs. Interesting...)
@@ohhellobusiness It might be my personal bias, because I didn't have enough conference rooms to be comfortable renting them 😄 I would recommend setting what you think is a realistic goal for booking out rooms long-term-which I would say should be well below the maximum possible number of hours-and work your way backwards from there. Of course it's up to you how aggressive/ambitious you want to be with these estimations, but unless you have a good reason to believe otherwise I'd err on the side of being conservative. I wouldn't want your model to totally depend on a huge number of conference room rentals to work, and if you get that then it's gravy! Personally I'd estimate something like a max average of 2 hours per day per room, so something like 42 paid rented hours per month per room. How's that sound?
@@TonyBacigalupo Awesome, thanks so much!
It doesn't account for maintenance/ depreciation
You can always add it in if you need - this is meant to be a guide for someone getting started to determine a rough outline of a model to see what’s viable. But you can always build it out with more real-life expenses if need be!
tbh kinda sucks
👏 'promosm'
I can even be a baby 😂😂😂
Does the $99 package include the updated version of changing the currencies?
Yes it does! 👍
THIS IS REALLY helpful!!
What a great idea!
it's not deep faceit's just tranking face
”Epidemic of loneliness” That’s also one thing we talk about and have as a mission to obliterate through making it super easy for people in Sweden to find different sporting or cultural and other associations. In the town of Sundsvall, north of Stockholm, there’s 100.000 people living there, and over 1000+ associations - everything from Harry Potter clubs to, hockey, ping pong, sailing, theatre, e-sport and so much more - there’s really something for everybody. We’ve asked 600+ how they find an association in town. 99% responds that they would google, but they would need to be very specific and basically know the name of the team, club or association. We got Facebook marketplace to sell and buy old stuff. We got websites for selling and buying homes that every swedish person knows about. And we have different platforms were people meet to trade, shop or other things. So we’re now a team of people that wanna obliterate loneliness, and we’re building a platform where associations can get new members and that every Swede can share their passion together with others. The aim is to link people with people of same interests and passions through the Swedish association structure. Is this a game plan that could work in the US?
Feels awesome to hear, not making stuff up just to fill some void, and to bring real value to people, value that THEY feel is worth while, not what I think is awesome 🙏🏼🙌🏼
does the pro feature take the logo off?
helpful & interesting video
Where can i find your free version Tony?
Where can I download the template?

Thanks for this. Much appreciated
Thank you for sharing this! This positivity has helped me a ton during my journey to opening my own co-working spot
I'm so glad to hear that, Adre! Where in the world are you? How's it all going?
@@TonyBacigalupo I’m in Los Angeles! There’s a part in LA called the South Bay and it doesn’t really have many coworking places to begin with. I’m still in my “research” phase of Can I Do This/I can totally do this/Can I really do this?! I’m excited and passionate about it but also really nervous
Awesome@@adreyusi5740! Have you been talking to other folks about the idea? Hosted any pilot gatherings yet?
Link didn't work?
This is great, you should have many more followers!
This video and template is very helpful!!!

does anyone happen to have a guide or tips on how to use gather town on ipad - i’m unable to get my camera working with it thus far and i’d rather not switch over to my fairly archaic laptop T_T
Is it possible to mute all participants in gather at once
Great Vid!
Thank you for making this video! We opened our doors in August and we used some of your content, namely the contracts, to effectively launch. Big help!
Where the free version of the template?
Hi Ramez! Click "Get your free starter kit" here: nwc.co
@@TonyBacigalupo Hi Tony, is the free version of the template still available? I cannot find it on the link you posted. Thanks
@@matthewroos9113 Hi Matthew, try this: drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7bL7nVHKW7SUk1KeUJsQ1VRdXc?resourcekey=0-APvaLYZu-Fzl-y12bhAysg&usp=sharing
The best alternative I've found so far is Qcon, it has impressive features includes high level security, crystal clear HD audio and video output, fast speed even in low internet connectivity, unlimited meeting minutes and participants. qcon.qomunicall.com/

@Tony: New to Gather and trying to set up a gathering I searched "can I show CZcams videos on gather town free." Out of 7,470,000 results, your video was at the top!
Hey there! Can I ask you a quick question? What brought you to this video? I literally recorded this just to send it to a friend, so I had no expectation that thousands of people would somehow find it. If you can tell me what you searched for that brought you here, I'd really appreciate it!
showed up when i googled gather town (it's the first recommended video lol)
Im searching for a tutorial spesificly on the build tool and so on
@@nickbates5028 Cool, thanks Nick! I didn't realize gather.town had gotten so popular!
Same as Nick - first video and it was the length I needed...so I clicked thinking it would be something i could use to demonstrate capability.
I actually need help placing a spotlight box down on a custom map :/
Is it possible to add my Country Currency in the excel sheet?
Hi Naman! I currently don't have it set up this way, but if you purchase the template I'd be happy to walk you through how you can rework the formulas in your currency!
@@TonyBacigalupo thanks Tony but let me know if it can be done then only i can purchase the template. hope you understand
@@namansingh8340 Hi Naman! I created a version of the template that should now work for all currencies. See a brief walkthrough of the update here: czcams.com/video/CapCB-gdDSo/video.html I hope this helps!
Hi Tony. How can I contact you? Just in case I don't see you respond would be great if you could email me bkostinsky@correallecompanies.
Do animation works??
I'm not sure what you mean! Can you say more?
Tony Bacigalupo hi, I just wonder if animation works when ppt used as virtual backgrouns, like when a student got a correct answer or wrong I got to click corresponding reinforecement when they got the correct/wrong answer, eg: correct answer = a star with animation will appear saying “You are correct” something like that or if they got the wrong answer, a crying emoji with saying “Try Again” will appear.
@@chelmiTV Looks like the support for this right now is extremely basic, so I wouldn't rely on it for anything more than just the most simple presentations!
Is this still relevant or up to date for 2020?
It sure is, Jonas! I'm working with several folks on adapting this template for their new businesses as we speak!
Wonderful content... thanks a lot for that.. I'll definitely share this video with fellow teachers.
There is such a light and bright aspect to this conversation. I love it. Does Kat have some type of a coaching program for creating community?
I appreciate that, Andre! Kat indeed has much to offer; check out her site! weshouldgettogether.com/
